家乡: 乍得、非洲
主要: 护理
When I was a child, I spent most of my days in and out of the hospital being sick with malaria. My mother received basic training from the Red Cross that taught her how to care for my siblings and me when we were sick. 她的关心, combined with that of medical personnel, set an example and inspired me to pursue a career in nursing.
Getting from Africa to 西雅图 was not a short trip. I applied to a number of other schools, because I didn’t think I could afford to attend SPU. 一天的工作, I was sorting the mail for residents at a senior living home and came across an issue of 响应. “Global 健康 Is Our 健康” was written across the cover, and after I read the story I felt a strong pull to apply and join a community of motivated and 激情ate health professionals. When I was accepted, I knew that SPU was where God wanted me to be.
Even though I was raised in a Christian home, my faith has grown tremendously during my time at SPU. My faith is still like a small plant that is constantly trying to thrive, but my classmates and professors have caused the roots to deepen and strengthen. My time at SPU has given me countless opportunities to have discussions about faith and God with different people, as well as to attend lectures delivered by an array of theologians. 在我的课程中, my professors constantly model the love of Christ by taking time out of their days to guide me in my studies.
The professors in the department continue to be inspiring role models for me. Dr. Morgenroth is able to incorporate her faith into intellectual and academic discussions while simultaneously being respectful to those who hold different beliefs. She models humility and facilitates an encouraging environment during clinical rotations. Instructor of 护理 Carol McFarland’s ability to listen to her students and provide meaningful feedback has been indispensable to me.
的奉献精神, 激情, and care exhibited by my professors have equipped my classmates and me with critical skills, 经历, 和知识. 因为SPU, I know that I will be able to show the same com激情 towards future patients that my mother, 儿童医生, and professors showed toward me.
